teamwork, if it wasn’t for our ability to work as a team, we would have never been able to complete a single challenge.” Both are proud of their work and Josh shared his most cherished moments so far.
“I am most proud of our ambitious large-scale designs and execution. Every single challenge so far, we really fought hard to bring the most value and best design to our rooms. The judges always give us consistent advice to scale back, but we decided to keep pushing ourselves.” Geoff followed with his take on what makes him proudest about the show and experience so far, “I’m proud to be a part of the revitalization of the Price Hill area. It’s nice knowing that we are the pioneers who are planting the seeds to propel this neighborhood to a whole new level. All it takes is one house to start a movement and inspire others to reinvest in their community.” When asked about advice to those seeking to enter into the renovation world?
Both were very clear, with Josh jumping in first, “Start small, always research the property and be willing to take a chance. Success doesn’t come overnight, but with each renovation you learn what to do better the next time around. Before long, you will master the process and gain more confidence.” His experiences as a real estate agent came through when Geoff offered his take on things, “Look for the house that has been sitting on the market for a while. Often times you will be able to get the best deal this way. Don’t be afraid of the peeling wallpaper or the ugly carpeting. In fact, the uglier, the better. This is where you will find the greatest discounts. Always perform a thorough inspection of the property, using a licensed
inspector, to ensure the safety and reliability of the home. Most importantly, know when to call in the professionals—cutting corners can be a costly mistake!” What’s next on the horizon for these two “tear-it-down, build-it-back-up” boys
once Rowhouse Showdown is over? Geoff loves the process of showcasing their designs on television and would like to continue the trend; “We would love to bring our designs to television again in a way that is creative and never done before; so, stay tuned. You just might be seeing a lot more of us!” Josh was a little more real world about their next project, “We are planning to rehab a dilapidated commercial space in San Diego for our new real estate business, ApprizeRealty, Inc. We plan on creating a fun and sexy environment for our clients to enjoy while further establishing our roots in Southern California. Stay tuned as you just may be seeing more of this real estate duo.”
A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD FOR THESE TWO? I THINK YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT!
